Which draft dodger are you talking about? Obama wasn't a dodger because he was too young to be of age during the last draft. Bush Jr. got called a dodger, even though he was a NG pilot in a plane that killed a lot of folks. Both Biden and Trump used deferments. (as did Reagan...) I am sure that the Navy will find out what happened and someone will be held to account. | |||

Hey Doc, Reagan served in WWII but yeah, we haven't had a president with service since bush II - and not on active service since bush I opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Biden had 5 deferments. Most well-to-do families don't want their kids killed in manufactured wars. The US Navy has been a shit show for the last four years. Wokeness being the prime culprit. This doesn't surprise me. | |||

Drones all over the place, and they CLAIM they don’t know what they are. Then shooting down their own planes! No wonder they got beat by rice paddy farmers and Stone Age cave dwellers! | |||

Wokeness as it's understood by MAGAs, is just the mirror image of refusing to hire blacks on the basis of race. Both positions are for fools and tribalists. \ How might Wokeness have figured into this incident? Isn't is a little early in the investigation to conclude? TomP Our country, right or wrong.

Wild guess but I'd bet some system was set to auto-engage by mistake, the Hornet took off from a carrier the Tico was escorting. "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

You need to work on those reading comp skills. The Navy has had numerous incidents of driving subs into terrain, other ships and docks. My Navy bros tell me the entire lot are infested with activist gays and trans folk. They are driving decent commanders out. Therefore, misteps don't surprise me. History shows black segregation was created by white racist Democrats, not Republicans. In case you forgot. Blacks have been advantaged for the last 40 years in hiring. I was a hiring manager during that time and I can attest to it.

You should be grateful. At least they were attacking the same Houthis who rocketed Abu Dabai, Dubai, and Riyadh and who you had to bribe off, since you couldn’t stop them… Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

Wherever you get humans controlling complex systems, you have potential for error. Tech malfunctions too. Id say the overall system and levels of competence are pretty damn high. This is not a common occurrence. Yep shouldn't happen but once in a while it will. Hell our navy just sunk one of its own ships after confusion on the bridge over a new auto pilot system. | |||

Don’t forget they shot an Iranian Airliner full of passengers and killed them all too! Their best performance in the past was dropping Agent Orange. Still killing people till day! | |||

Seems it was engaged during an aerial refueling, not clear if it was acting as the tanker or not. Link "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

At first they were saying it had just taken off from the carrier… now midair refueling mission… The Navy is not looking too good by not being able to get the story right in the first place. I’m glad the pilot and crew are safe. I’m sure the navy will run a full investigation. What I’m not so sure of is if the accurate results will be given to the public, especially if some admiral ordered an exception of protocol, but the navy will know internally. | |||

A black friend of mine was the reactor operator on a nuclear submarine. He got there by way of 160 IQ, yanked right out of basic and plunked into Rickover's Navy. At a company that can remain un-named, I saw a black kid hired into a job they knew he couldn't do, maybe just to prove a point. He wasn't supported, and he failed as expected. It wasn't always like that, there. I know of another black kid who flourished, years earlier. He was, and is still, exceptional and didn't need a lot of help. Still haven't seen anything about the recent incident that points to a DEI problem. Has anyone else? TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right.

We don't have enough information, either way to say so. We do have examples that the Navy is having more and more problems with command oversight since Obama took office- whether that is due to increased visibility with the internet and news availability, or if it is something more sinister, we just don't know. Heck, they may actually be having less trouble, but it just doesn't look that way in the cheap seats.

DEI! Fucking DEI! Trying to put a square bolt in a round hole! People put in jobs they are INCAPABLE of doing! Just because of their color or ethnicity! The days when the right person was for the right job have gone! Where color, race, gender or ethnicity should have no advantage! Bloody hell! Look who the dims put as their leader last election! I am up in the Swiss Alps. Looking through the window on falling snow flakes. Each of these flakes have more intelligence than her! Even after they melt! | |||
